Axtell-on-Dougherty

I haven't read this paper by Guy Axtell yet, but I'm looking forward to doing so:

Axtell ('Recovering Responsibility,' 2011, Logos and Episteme),

http://logos-and-episteme.proiectsbc.ro/sites/default/files/RECOVERING%20RESPONSIBILITY%20.pdf

And here's the very interesting paper by Trent Dougherty which it responds to:

Dougherty ('Reducing Responsibility: An Evidentialist Account of Epistemic Blame,'

2011, European Journal of Philosophy),

In addition, we will as usual have a Christmas Graduate Epist-Fest Workshop, which will be open to everyone (this year it will be on Friday December 9th), and we'll also be hosting another graduate workshop in the spring (Thursday May 24th). Looking ahead, we're planning a major conference in 2013 to celebrate 50 years since Gettier's article.
